I keep getting these very threatening robo calls today on the voice mail. 📲 If I don’t call them back they’re going to tell the FIBBY department and they’re going open a LEGAL case says the very angry woman on the robo call. Fortunately easy to delete voicemail on my modem phone.

Remembering the ugliest thing San Francisco ever built
The plan was simple: Connect the Bay Bridge and the Golden Gate Bridge via a freeway. It was the 1950s and everyone loved freeways. What could go wrong? Nearly everything.
The Embarcadero Freeway is widely considered one of the biggest mistakes the city ever made. For 32 years, a concrete monstrosity barricaded San Franciscans from the bay waters, shrouded the iconic Ferry Building in smog and made lots of residents very mad. Photographs of it now look like a very different, unsightly city. And while (nearly) everyone hated it, it took an earthquake to tear it down.

I hadn't heard this song before today. It's a pretty jazzy song about highway construction.
Still winter out there
Gateway to the Forbidden Zone
This unmarked trail -- officially a prohibited trail -- is gated off, although I prefer to think of it as a horse tie down. It is however a public right of way, as Centerville Road was never undesignated by the Colonie Highway Department.
